Amazon has officially unveiled four new Echo smart speakers, introducing upgraded AI-powered features under Alexa+. The lineup includes the Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, and two Echo Show models with 8-inch and 11-inch displays. These new devices are designed to enhance smart home experiences with advanced AI integration.
Unlike the traditional Alexa, Alexa+ incorporates large AI models that enable natural conversations, multi-step task execution, memory, and proactive suggestions. Currently, the upgraded assistant supports only English. While Prime members can access it for free, non-Prime users will need to pay $19.99 (approx. RMB 142.4) per month as a standalone service.
All four models are powered by the new AZ3/AZ3 Pro processors optimized for voice recognition. Notably, the AZ3 Pro can natively run large language and vision models, reducing cloud latency. The speakers are also integrated with the Omnisense environmental awareness platform, allowing them to proactively respond using built-in sensors.
Product Details & Pricing:
- Echo Dot Max – $99.99 (approx. RMB 712.5), auto sound adjustment based on room size.
- Echo Studio – $219.99 (approx. RMB 1,568), supports Dolby Atmos and spatial audio. It is 40% smaller than the previous version and can pair with Fire TV for a 5-device home theater system.
- Echo Show 8 – $179.99 (approx. RMB 1,283), features an 8-inch display, 13MP camera, and smart home control.
- Echo Show 11 – $219.99 (approx. RMB 1,568), offers an 11-inch screen with the same intelligent features as the 8-inch model.
Both Echo Show models include user recognition, schedule management, multimedia control, and health tracking, doubling as smart home hubs for connected devices.
With Alexa+ and next-gen AZ3 processors, Amazon’s latest Echo series sets a new benchmark in smart home technology, making interactions more intuitive and proactive than ever before.
